This was photographed by Kevin Carter I believe. The same photographer who took the image of the African child allegedly crawling to a nearby Orphanage whilst a Vulture skulks in the background. Quite iconic.

It's not like these 'AWB' guys were innocent bystanders.... maybe they had a good reason for trying to stage a coup in Bophuthatswana (very possibly, even) but if you try to overthrow a government, that's a BIG risk if things don't go your way. (The white police in Rhodesia or South Africa would have, and did, the same sort of thing to black revolutionaries in the 'old days') Where IS Bopus....Bophus....Bophuthatswana? Try Southern Africa.

Re: Black Police Kill White AWB Guys in Africa (Bophuthatswana)
Here's part of a Wikipedia article: In the beginning of 1994 with South Africa heading for democratic elections, the President Lucas Mangope resisted reincorporation into South Africa. Forty people were wounded when Bophuthatswana Defence Force troops opened fire on striking civil servants. Mangope took an increasingly hardline stance, rejected Independent Electoral Commission chairman Judge Johann Kriegler's plea for free political activity in the territory,[14] and fired the staff of the Bophuthatswana Broadcasting Corporation, closing down two television stations and three radio stations. The white supremacist group Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) took the opportunity to move in and try to restore the apartheid status quo, but was humiliated in early March when, in the presence of photojournalists and a TV crew, uniformed members of the AWB on an armed incursion to the Mmabatho/Mafikeng area shot at people alongside the road, injuring and killing many.[15] They themselves were shot at by members of the Bophuthatswana Defence Force (BDF) and the Police and forced to retreat. Three wounded AWB members were shot dead at point blank range by Ontlametse Bernstein Menyatsoe of the BDF while retreating.[16] These killings effectively spelt the end of white military opposition to democratic reforms. Mangope was replaced by an interim government. ![]() |
